1) Natural Light and Shadow Light have very little contrast on a
CRT. Maybe look at
2) The transition from Natural Medium to Natural Dark is IMHO too big
I decreased the brightness on Natural Light and Natural Medium. This
should fix both of those issues.
3) The palette seems poor in green hues.
Hmm.. how's this for an idea:
...
If you add another greyscale to Natural and Shadow you'll have a
third triple.
If you add another line to Wheat and Cardboard that'll form a
triple. I'm thinking maybe Earth with richer tones.
Then we add two lines to Herb to give us a rich set of green hues.
Great ideas!
I basically stole the Earth colors you sent, with a slight saturation
decrease to Earth Light.
I added the two greens: Algae and Moss. The green triplets work like
so: Herb is the closest to a "true" green, with Algae pushed more
towards blue and Moss decidedly yellow. I think that gives us a
better rounding out of hues than the version that you sent over,
which felt very blue focused.
With the grayscale, I kept Glare, but it is used instead as a light
cool (blue) gray, and kept Natural as a light/medium warm (brown)
gray. Shadow is still a medium/dark "pure" gray.
I'm really happy with where the palette is now! Thanks for all your
suggestions!
